Summary: Aragorn brings Bilbo a new form of poetry he encountered in his travels.
"To Rivendell, with gifts from far away,
I have returned." Thus spoke the Dúnadan.
"For you, my friend, no book of black or tan;
A greater gift I brought for you today."
"Across the fields of green and hills of grey,
I carried knowledge for you," said the Man.
"A brand new way to order words to scan,
A sonnet-form with which you can make play."
The Hobbit, sitting happy by the fire,
Smiled as his friend explained his wordy gift,
A puzzle sure to bring them hours of bliss.
Together, they wrote sonnets of the Shire,
And many topics covered slow or swift
Together, seated safe in Imladris.
